Verse 2
D 
My whole life,
G 
I fervently served him and obeyed
D 
And I walked through this
world full of sinners
G 
And I kept them at bay
D 
'Cause there's only enough room at
G 
his table for the souls that are saved
Bm 
And they're com ing to
G 
shut the gate
Bm 
G 
You're too little and too late
Bm 
G 
And you can't get in on that name

Verse 3
But I don't buy it
A 
Bm 
I  refuse to think that my best
friend's going to Hell anymore
G 
And condescend to offer
A 
her a key to her salvation
Bm 
Like it's something I have
G 
and can afford
And I won't blame my parents
A 
for clinging to the good
Bm 
It helps that it makes sense
D 
G 
of it all
And believing in a story like
A 
it was the Bible
Bm 
G 
When it  was just a tale made tall

Verse 4

Hey ya

Hey

Hey ya

Verse 5
D 
Now I wake up to the most
G 
D 
spirit- rattling scare
As I'm losing my religion,
A 
G 
layer by layer
D 
'Cause it's triggering all of the trip
G 
lines and the traps and the snares
Bm 
G 
It's that old device called fear
Bm 
That old device called fear
G 

Verse 6
D 
A 
Bm 
And now it's the long ride
Am 
G 
through the unknown which I embrace
A 
D 
And the cops and the robbers,
and the cowboys and the injuns
G 
Have got the same face
D 
We're just each of us doing our
G 
best to get by day by day
Bm 
G 
And Heaven is yours to take,
Bm 
G 
and the choices day by day
Bm 
G 
Bring us closer or further way

Verse 7
G 
I understood the risk that asking
A 
any kind of question
Bm 
G 
Could unravel me with one small fray
D 
G 
A 
But I  looked in my closet filled with ignorance,
intolerance
Bm 
G 
And a fear that was turning to hate
D 
G 
And that is not the meaning or
A 
intention of the teaching
Bm 
Or the truth from which
D 
G 
the message came
A 
And I can't turn a blind eye to centuries
Bm 
G 
of conflict and wrongdoing in his name
D 
His name

Verse 8

Hey ya
